7 Benefits Of Using Wooden Brush For Your Hair

For all these years I have been a big fan of wooden combs, but very recently I have taken a liking to wooden brushes. The natural wood bristles feel so good and therapeutic. They are perfect to stimulate and massage the scalp. This obviously increases the circulation, which means, more nutrients reach your hair follicle and improve growth. After few weeks of using it, I have noticed that my hair looks fuller, shinier and rejuvenated. Also, the feel of wood on the scalp is very relaxing, like someone’s stroking your hair.

That’s why I enjoy brushing my hair not just in the morning, but at random times in the day and before bed. I have found that it helps to de-stress and release tension, especially after a long day. And probably it’s a placebo effect, but I sleep better at night (if I brush before bed).

Stimulates Hair follicles

The wooden bristles are like little massaging fingers on the scalp. They not just feel lovely, but they even help stimulate hair follicles to promote new growth.

Makes your hair grow faster and thicker

The massaging effect also boosts scalp circulation, bringing amazing nutrients to the hair roots. This, in turn, will make your hair grow faster and healthier.

Stops Hair Breakage

I like how well the brush glides through my hair. Since the bristles are wide and soft, they separate and manage hair easily without any pull. This means smooth, beautiful hair with less work!

Naturally Conditions hair

As you comb, the wooden bristles work to distribute the natural oils from your scalp all the way down to the ends. Your own hair oils are the best natural conditioner! So distributing them from root to tip helps to keep the hair soft and moisturized.

Helps with Dandruff and Sensitive Scalp

Unlike the plastic or metal pins, the wooden tips won’t scratch your scalp. So if you have a sensitive scalp, this is bliss.

It may also help with dandruff, especially if your dandruff is due to dry scalp. A regular massage with a wooden brush will normalise the oil production and remove dandruff. Plus, it will also get rid of dead cells and flakes deposited on your scalp.

Prevents Static and Flyaways

Wood has a neutral charge, hence static is almost negligible.

So those of you whose hair go wildly static after combing with plastic bristles can breathe a sigh of relief. Thankfully the wood bristles untangle and style hair without building an electric charge. And you can comb your hair in peace.

Environmental Friendly

What I also like about the wooden brushes is that they do not harm the environment – like the plastic ones.

We all know plastic doesn’t decompose and so is filling up our oceans and landfills at a rate I’d rather not think about. Wooden hairbrushes use natural materials that not only last longer and but also decompose a lot faster.
